The St. Louis Blues will host the Chicago Blackhawks in the Winter Classic at Busch Stadium on Jan. 2, the N.H.L. said. The game is usually held on Jan. 1, but the league is pushing it back a day to avoid going head-to-head with the N.F.L. It will be the first outdoor game in Blues history.

After the announcement, the Blues defeated the visiting Blackhawks, 3-2.
